So don't bother trying at all?

Reserve Bars that have been phased out will be exchangeable.
After the new Reserve Bar tokens are released, if you still have Reserve Bars that are not being reprinted (250, 500, 2500), during the grace period (i.e., before December 2018) you will be able to exchange them for the equivalent amount of GP, but using tokens from the 2017 set. The soon-to-be obsolete 10,000 GP Adamantium Bar can be exchanged for two of the new 5k bars

Hypothetical Example: If the exchange were to be done today* you could turn in a 250 GP Silver Bar and receive 2× 100 GP Gold Skull and 1× 50 GP Gold Compass .

*Don't send them today. This program has not yet begun.

so at GHC(gamhole con) will these be able to be done?

I don't know the schedule, though I assume none of this will begin until after the 2017 tokens get printed.

No, choose the inconsistency with which you're most comfortable. Just don't delude yourself into believing there aren't any

I suffer from many delusions, but I don't believe that's one of them.

I was told a few short years ago (4?) by someone in the know that they were beginning to phase out the 250 and 500 GP Tokens back then.

I've got a full collection of all the trade bars, 250gp through 25,000gp.

It's gonna be a very hard decision, whether to keep the Adamantium and Eldritch as part of the set, or trade them in.

I know, RIGHT?

That's how I feel about every token I transmute (or think about transmuting): Rod segments, Dragon Orbs, Teeth, Relics... It's why I'd much rather have set bonuses than "completed" tokens.

So here's my totally unreasonable suggestion. They made a MTG collectors set with reprints of older cards. If memory serves they had square corners, gold borders, and weird black backs. They were obviously not legal for play. They were just for people who liked the artwork and wanted a Lotus in their collection, even if they couldn't play with them.

^ ^ ^ That. I want something like that for tokens like RoSPs and TrueCraft and every other awesome-looking token that I hated to give up. Do what ever you want to make them obviously "worthless" from a playing perspective. They just have to be tokens, not cards. But even cards would be better than nothing.

But I want a lot of things I'm pretty sure I'll never get. Like a pet dragon and superpowers.

I don't know. Having 30 strength seems like a super power to me.

But then I still have 1st Edition rattling around in my brain and even deities didn't have that kind of strength.

My friends and I still play 1st Ed. It's the only way to play D&D.
