Wondering about canning lids.

Well, the beans are all canned and as usual, I ended up with leftover jar lids. Not many, just 4 or five. Right or wrong, I've never used the leftover lids the next year, just bought new. Wondering if the rubber seal would harden over time and not seal if I tried to use them next year.
Thanks for your time.
 
That is what Em does.. she sterilizes em in hot water. We have used lids in unopened boxes we have had for 4 or 5 years as well as opened boxes a couple 3 years old.
