Help choosing card

this is the situation....

My brother who has no credit history would like to get his first credit card. He said when he applied, they asked for a cosigner. So he asked me to cosign.

I really dont want to do this because I dont want to put my 800 FICO score at risk. I also dont want to look like the selfish family member. So I would like to give him a list of credit cards that someone can get with little or no credit history instead of just telling him no. Every one needs to get a first card to establish credit at some time. My first was citibank driver's edge in 1999.

Any recomendations? what are some good starter cards?
