reusing header gaskets?

Does anyone know if I can reuse my header gaskets for my new header install? I know I'll need the up pipe to header gasket as its a three piece but do I really need all of them considering they are metal?

Don't do it. Unless you like doing things twice.

Any gasket is a single use item.
You have been warned.

Warned twice or more.

Now we wait to see if we're listened to.
