Incrementing cell contents by an integer amount

[mmcgillick]

I use Excel to keep track of my baseball card collection. I keep a column that tells me how many copies of a particular card I have in my collection. Occasionnally, I receive a whole set of cards, and I'd like to update each of the numbers in the column by 1 or more (depending on how many sets I receive). Is there an easy way to increment all of the cells in the column at once by 1, or do I need to physically go into each cell and increment it by 1?

Type 1 in an empty cell, copy this cell, select the cells of interest that must be incremented, and activate Edit|Paste Special >Add.

Thank you. This worked exactly as I needed it to.
