This cam was pulled out of a car recently-had a slight marking on one of the lobes-doesn't look like a gouge or anyhting but if your rub your fingernail over it you can feel it. What do you all think-can it be reused?

The motor it was pulled out of had no issues. BUT the heads never came off the car so we don't know what the lifter looked like-this was just pulled out and another cam was put in. It doesn't look like gouging -there is no rough edge-almost looks like it was made that way-could maybe some dirt have got caught between the lifter and the lobe? Well if can last 5000 miles I may just throw it in.

Yeah If you can feel the mark It should be good. I had a trashed cam and you would not like the way the marks felt. There was a machine shop that fixed my old cam for 40 bucks.
