Daniel Carr Moonlight Mint Catalog in Print Idea

Given that PCGS will now slab Dan Carr / @dcarr pieces that are cataloged in Krause, and Dan has an online Moonlight Mint catalog website, would converting the online website to a PDF or print book enable PCGS to slab more of Dan's pieces?
Should we do it? 
Here are some examples. The first two are from @philographer and the 3rd is from @U1chicago in these threads:

- PCGS slabs Daniel Carr! Way to go! You rock!

In the past several people have asked for a printed version. I have declined to make printed copies because I typically update the catalog at least a few times per month, and up to several times a week (depending on activity).
So any printed version would be obsolete in a month or less.
But I wouldn't object if someone wanted to make printed or PDF versions themselves. Everything needed is on the website. But realize that some parts (typically the more recent sections) could be outdated pretty quickly.
The print version will naturally lag the online version but my speculation is that PCGS may only want to slab things that are in a print reference as a website can simply go offline and disappear. Of course this is just speculation and would need to be verified with our hosts.
If this is true, a bit of a lag shouldn't be a problem as a periodic update, even say once or twice a year, would enable cataloging and slabbing of new pieces since Krause hasn't added anything for years.
@dcarr I love the 64 peace dollar. Would you happen to have any left.

You could do yearly updates. Start with everything through 2020 and then issue an update at the end of each following year.
It is great that our host now slab Dan's products. I am happy with the online catalogue. Cheers, RickO
The online catalog is great!
The main question here is if PCGS will slab more pieces with a print catalog.
Maybe it's time for some sort of checklist. I like dcarrs work as well
You mean like a Set Registry?
Imagine the sets and even awards!
good ideas
.
Which Krause catalog? I'd love to see a list of Carr products that PCGS will slab.

But does anyone know of any newer updates?

I think Dans on line catalogue is very easy to use. And educational to boot. Peace Roy

The first edition of such a catalog would then be a valuable collectible in the future like the first edition of the Red Book!

Anybody with basic Adobe knowledge can make the catalog provided you have the Adobe Pro. Problem is mine I made is way to big to email. Right now the file is about 67 Megabytes. My email usually about 20 megs is the maximum but it’s not hard to create just takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
I also use Bluebeam which is a really great PDF program.
All my web pages are made using MicroSoft Word. I save them as standard ".doc" files. Those are the files that I edit frequently to add new info. I use MS Word because I like the table functions. And if you look at any of my online catalog, you will soon see that I make extensive use of tables. It is the only way to efficiently pack a lot of information into a relatively small area.
For each document, I also use MS Word to Save As "Web Page, Filtered" (".htm"). I then upload those "*.htm" files to my web hosting site.
