Hello I own a few Casascius not redeemed.
Back then I read that the PK could deteriorate with time.

I want to know where we are at with this theory?
My coin are well preserved, but I would not like losing some BTC stored in it.

Cheers!

  I have not heard of any Casascius coins private keys being found deteriorating. If anything the paper is under a holo hidden away from light and if stored in a dry capsule they should not be affected.

   You can read about my thoughts about this on my posts and discussion here on this thread.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5463281.msg62725811#msg62725811

As for Titans, there are other... issues:

Short version is you better have a PK (as opposed to 2FA) version AND know your public address.
If your answer to both is yes, you're alright.
