There are a lot of if's here, but if you're sure it's your private keys that you wrote down, and if you're sure there are no typos, and if you never add any new receiving addresses to your wallet, than you should be safe.

Edited to add: and also if they're either unencrypted, or you are sure you know their password.

I had the same thought:  are you very sure you know you have your private key written down and not something else (public key, Bitcoin address, etc.)?  Also you must have all of your private keys, not just one.

Where did you get this number you are calling your private key?  How did you get it from the blockchain.info web site?

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

I should not have used the word written as I have not literally written them down anything with pen and paper. I'm not very sure what encrypted/decrypted things u r talking about regarding private key. I have used only one address on blockchain.info and have downloaded the paper wallet, which is a PDF doc, from their wallet dash board. That PDF has the address and the private key written on it.

If all true you are golden then, that one private key is all you need and you can sweep it into any wallet on the market pretty much.
