Ask for Backlit film and have them laminate it...to give you an idea my 26.5x7.5 cost me $24.

So many DIY ways...angled aluminum, angled wood, slots (harder to remove unless you make your speaker shelf removable), Happs retainers etc.

So I went to FastSigns in hopes of getting a quote for my 25"x9" marquee print close to the $24 you paid. They wanted $70!!!!!
Would my print being 9" high really make it that much more? I think I'm just going to go with mamemarquees or whatever the new site is called if so.

on my Pac Man cabinet that I am converting, the marquee is held in with some thing angle aluminum on the top and the bottom. basically theres a strip across the bottom that it rests in, then the top strip goes down to hold it in place
Benevolance:
I sandwiched my marquee between two sheets of 1/4 plexi and cut some 1/2" aluminum c-channel to length to cap the top and bottom. Then I affixed angle brackets to the top and bottom of the opening and added some magnets to hold the marquee in place.
