You need an apostrophe in "can't" (it is an abbreviation of "cannot").

Do you mean "I am unable to choose the most splendid item from this collection"? Or do you mean "Given this item, I am unable to find a more splendid one"? Your sentence means the latter.

The sentence sounds strange but it's grammatically correct
if you use this or another adjective and want to compare two things.
Then you use the comparative form (i.e., more beautiful).
For example, according to Reverso.context.net:
'The men are more splendid than the women'.
If you compare three or more things you should say, for example:
'I can't choose which one is the most beautiful'.
This is the superlative form.
One more example from Reverso.context.net:
'Miss Lane, I have had the most splendid of notions'.
I disagree: "more splendid" is comparative. The sentence is slightly stilted, but it is grammatically correct (however it may not mean what the OP wants it to mean).
