Reusing lifters

I’ve used the same cam in 3 different engines since 1976, lifters went where ever. At one time we would stick em in order in a piece of cardboard then found it was a waste of time. This new **** could be a different story, I heard of one wiping still in the box. I have dozens and thinking of getting the tool for the valve grinding machine. 318 to 440 all the same.
